Bjorn Fortuin ready for second half of Betway SA20

NEW DELHI: Bjorn Fortuin may have transformed Boland Park into his personal playground during the first half of the SA20, but the Paarl Royals left-arm spinner is ready for the challenge of returning to the Highveld. Fortuin has claimed 13 wickets - with only one wicket not taken in Paarl - thus far to place him joint second on the overall SA20 wicket-takers table.

He has been particularly lethal upfront in the Powerplay where he has regularly struck in his first over of the match for the Royals.

"I really wish I could (roll up the Boland Park surface). I try to keep my gameplans simple there," Fortuin said.

"I work very closely with our analyst and spin consultant Richard das Neves. They have been very helpful with what works on that wicket and what doesn't. I just try to stick to that plan as much as I can. Some days batters will get the best of you and get you off that plan. But for the most part I think I've stuck to my plan."

The Paarl Royals have, however, completed their home leg of the competition and now travel north for their two remaining matches against Joburg Super Kings (Wanderers) and Pretoria Capitals (Centurion).
